Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to products with the same chemical class used repeatedly for control. Tempest Dual-Action nInsecticide contains Group 3 and Group 4A insecticides. Although pest resistance cannot be predicted, a general rule to reduce the onset of resistance pest species to Tempest Dual-Action Insecticide is, do not consecutively and repeatedly apply Group 3 and/or Group 4A insecticides during a growing season for control particular pest target. Consult your local or state agricultural authorities or your Helena Chemical representative for more specific details on insect resistance management strategies.
If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a similar mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot be attributed to improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternative method of control for your area.
